Looking for a softer, more textured honeycomb fabric option? Our 25mm knitted yarn honeycomb blind fabric is available in single cell and pleated structures, made by knitting yarn into loops rather than weaving or bonding non-woven fibers. This gives the fabric a softer hand and more elastic drape than woven or non-woven material, while the 25mm cell size keeps a balanced insulation-to-stack-height ratio. Below you'll find full specifications, structure comparison, application guidance, and answers to the questions buyers ask most.

Knitted honeycomb fabric is made by looping yarn together rather than weaving it into a crossed pattern or bonding fibers into a non-woven sheet. This looped structure gives it a softer, more flexible feel and a slightly stretchy drape.
Softer hand and drape: The looped knit construction gives a softer, more fabric-like feel than woven or non-woven material, with a bit of natural stretch.
Balanced insulation and stack height: The 25mm cell holds a moderate air pocket while keeping a manageable retracted stack for standard residential windows.
Light control & privacy: Semi-blackout and light-filtering options soften incoming light while maintaining privacy; blackout performance can be added with a backing layer if full light-block is required.
Noise reduction: The hollow honeycomb cells absorb some sound, with a moderate dampening effect suited to typical residential rooms.
Crease memory: Heat-setting during manufacturing locks the knitted fabric's folds in place, keeping pleats even through repeated raise-lower cycles despite the material's natural stretch.
At 25mm, we offer two structure options in knitted yarn fabric, each suited to a different balance of insulation and compactness.
| Structure | Description | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Single Cell | One row of hexagonal cells; retains a hollow air pocket for insulation | Standard residential windows needing a balance of insulation and stack height |
| Pleated | Accordion fold without a hollow cell; flatter, more compact stack | Windows with shallower headrail space where a slimmer stack is preferred |

Knitted fabric has different failure points than woven or non-woven material. Four areas separate premium knitted fabric from fabric that snags, sags, or fades quickly:
Loop/stitch density and uniformity: Premium fabric has tight, even loops with no visible gaps or loose stitches when held up to light. Loosely knitted fabric stretches out of shape and loses its crease over time.
Snag and pull resistance: Because knitted fabric is looped rather than woven, a snagged loop can run or ladder if the yarn isn't finished correctly. Quality fabric resists pulling and holds its structure if lightly caught.
Crease consistency: Precise heat-setting keeps folds even and stable through tens of thousands of raise-lower cycles, which matters more on knitted fabric given its natural stretch. Lower-grade fabric loses shape and the pleats go uneven.
Edge finishing: Cut edges should be sealed or bound cleanly to prevent unraveling, a more common failure point on knitted fabric than on woven or non-woven material.
We test and certify knitted yarn honeycomb fabric against the major international benchmarks so buyers can match documentation to their target market's regulatory requirements.

Standard residential windows: Single cell 25mm knitted fabric provides a balanced level of insulation and privacy with a softer feel than woven or non-woven fabric.
Mid-size French doors and sliding doors: Pleated 25mm structure's compact stack fits typical door headrail spaces without a bulky profile.
Soft-interior and textile-forward designs: The knitted texture suits interiors aiming for a softer, more tactile fabric look than a flatter woven or non-woven surface.
Offices and light-filtering needs: Semi-blackout knitted fabric softens glare while keeping the space bright, a common fit for meeting rooms and workstations near windows.
Volume residential projects: The 25mm size is a practical mid-range default for developers standardizing across many units without needing size-specific customization.
Need fabric samples for a specific project? Tell us your target market, structure preference, and whether you need semi-blackout or light-filtering fabric, and we'll send technical datasheets and physical swatches within 24 hours.
Fabric made by looping yarn together rather than weaving or bonding non-woven fibers, giving a softer feel and slight natural stretch.
Knitted fabric can run if a loop is snagged, but quality fabric with proper finishing resists pulling and holds its structure under normal use.
Standard fabric is semi-blackout or light-filtering. Full blackout is possible with an added backing layer — let us know if you need it.
Single cell keeps a hollow air pocket for more insulation; pleated stacks flatter. Choose pleated when headrail depth is limited.
